Seat Belt Tension Sensor, Methods Of Integration And Attachment

View page
US Patent:
6400145, Jun 4, 2002
Filed:
Jun 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/597042
Inventors:
Antony W. Chamings - Oxford MI
John ONeill - Clarkston MI
Rudi Grzic - Sterling Heights MI
Assignee:
Breed Automotive Technology, Inc. - Lakeland FL
International Classification:
G01B 0714
US Classification:
32420726, 24633, 280735, 32420711
Abstract:
A force sensor ( ) generates a signal indicating the usage of a seat belt. A cylindrical housing ( ) has a wall ( ) and a bottom ( ) which define an internal cavity ( ). The bottom has an opening ( ) through it. A cable anchor ( ) is slidably received within the cavity and is connected to a cable ( ). The cable has one end secured to the cable anchor and another end connected to an anchor point. A magnet ( ) is connected to a top of the cable anchor and is movable with the cable anchor. The cable anchor is biased to resist motion of the cable anchor toward the bottom of the housing. A magnetic sensor ( ) for generates a signal indicative of the distance between it and the magnet. A sensor housing ( ) is connected to the housing and is positioned on the housing to position the magnetic sensor a determinable distance from the magnet at a null position. A housing end cap ( ) is secured to the housing for enclosing an open end of the housing. The magnet and the magnetic sensor are movable when a force of a determinable level is applied to the end cap causing the relative movement of the magnet and the magnetic sensor.

Antony W. Chamings - Oxford MI
Rudi Grzic - Sterling Heights MI
Assignee:
Breed Automotive Technology, Inc. - Lakeland FL
International Classification:
G01N 308
US Classification:
73826
Abstract:
A force-sensing mechanism ( ) comprising: a housing having first ( ) and second ( ) housing members; a slidable plate positioned between plate portions of the first and second housing members and moveable thereto; various spacers located between the first housing member and the sliding plate to space and stabilize the plate relative to the first and second housing members; a magnetic sensor stationarily mounted between the first and second housing members, a magnet moveable with the sliding member in response to forces applied to the first and second housing members and to the sliding plate; a spring assembly ( ) having one end in operative engagement with the sliding plate and another end in operative engagement with the housing while biasing the sliding plate within the housing.

Rudi Grzic - Sterling Heights MI
Assignee:
Key Safety Systems, Inc. - Sterling Heights MI
International Classification:
G01L 2500
US Classification:
73 115
Abstract:
A force-sensing mechanism ( ) comprising: a housing having first ( ) and second ( ) housing members; a slidable plate positioned between plate portions of the first and second housing members and moveable thereto; various spacers located between the first housing member and the sliding plate to space and stabilize the plate relative to the first and second housing members; a magnetic sensor stationarily mounted between the first and second housing members, a magnet moveable with the sliding member in response to forces applied to the first and second housing members and to the sliding plate; a spring assembly ( ) having one end in operative engagement with the sliding plate and another end in operative engagement with the housing while biasing the sliding plate within the housing.
